Hey there.  I also live in Riverside, CA!  But I have my cable internet
service through Charter.  When I signed up, Adelphia didn't offer
service here.

Anyway, this same thing worked for me for nearly a year.  I was
thoroughly enjoying my MythTV box.  And then I went to Colorado for a
week.  When I came back, there was no TV!!!  It turns out that during
the time period that I was gone, Charter came to our apartment complex
and set up (or simply tried to convince the customers to get) digital
cable.  In that process they must have installed the filters in our box.
I verified this by going around to the box and noticed fresh pieces of
coax cable on the ground around the box.  Being a poor college student,
I really wanted to reverse those changes  ;-)  Unfortunately, the box
was locked.  I think I would've felt really guilty anyway.  Oh well, I
guess my roommates and I may have to fork out the cash for digital cable
now.

It's sad.  We're running off of rabbit ears right now, which suck soo
bad, especially considering our location, where practically nothing
comes in.  I brought my MythTV box back to my parents house in Corona
for now to at least continue recording my shows.
